The Levellers: Radical Political Thought in the English Revolution, by Rachel Foxley
Thomas More’s Utopia: Sources, legacy, and interpretation
Towards the end of his discussion of the good life, happiness and unhappiness in Plato's Republic (591a-592b), Socrates stresses the importance of self-rule or self-discipline as a key to producing 'attunement and harmony' within each individual. To become involved in the vexed business, turmoil and conflict of governing flawed communities, might make such interior harmony or peace of mind unattainable. The good, having struggled to achieve attun…
The Cambridge Companion to Utopian Literature
Since the publication of Thomas More's genre-defining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an ever-expanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Cha…

The English Radical Imagination: Culture, Religion, and Revolution, 1630-1660
THIS is an important, forcefully argued and accomplished first book which will oblige us to think again about the cultural and educational resources both underpinning and at issue in many of the key texts produced by mid-seventeenth-century English radicals. Based on his 2000 Oxford D.Phil thesis, but bearing few signs of its origins, Nicholas McDowell's book focuses on the Leveller Richard Overton, the ‘Ranter’ Abiezer Coppe, and the Quaker Samu…
The London Drug Scene and the Making of Drug Policy, 1965-73
This article examines the developing drug scene in 1960s London and its effect in influencing drug policy and shaping the 1971 Misuse of Drugs Act. It is argued that London was Britain's pre-eminent drug centre in the period. It contained a drop-out, hard drug scene around Piccadilly Circus and a much wider, rapidly growing, soft drug culture affecting the city's young, in all walks of life. Soft drug users practised an experimentation based on c…
Soldiers, Writers and Statesmen of the English Revolution
This collection of essays examines the struggles of the people of England with the collapse of civilization as they knew it. As the country fell into civil war and near anarchy, the people sought out in word and action how to preserve what could still be preserved or to create new political, religious and social certainties. The authors discuss individuals or groups who were soldiers, writers or statesmen of the Civil Wars or the Interregnum, peo…

We report on the present status of the Lawrence Livermore AMS spectrometer, including sample throughput and progress towards routine 1% measurement capability for 14 C, first results on other isotopes and experience with a multisample high-intensity ion source
Religion and the struggle for freedom in the English Revolution
The essay attempts to recover a language of liberty, a set of assumptions common participants in the mid-seventeenth-century discourse on religion and liberty. The current historiography of seventeenth-century liberty and contemporary consensus on the complementarity civil liberty and law are used as contexts. In the religious sense, liberty was commonly taken to imply submission to the will of a God of millennial purpose and providential power. …

More, Morton, and the Politics of Accommodation
In the private conversation of close friends this academic philosophy is not without its charm, but in the council of kings, where great matters are debated with great authority, there is no room for these notions .... But there is another philosophy, more practical for statesmen, which knows its stage, adapts itself to the play in hand, and performs its role neatly and appropriately. This is the philosophy which you must employ. This trimmer's p…
